MUMBAI, India (AP) — There’s no bigger celebrity than India’s Sachin Tendulkar in the cricket-obsessed country of 1.2 billion people.
So when the “Little Master” enters his home ground for Saturday’s World Cup final against Sri Lanka, it’s safe to assume most will be watching.
That’s a big audience, a vast chunk of the world’s population. Ticket prices on the black market have skyrocketed as fans try to get into the already sold-out 33,000-seat venue.
It seems everybody in India wants to be there in case Sachin Tendulkar scores his 100th international century and India wins its first World Cup title in 28 years.
